Jessica Reynolds COMD 3200 Professor Filimoehala July 17, 2023 Summary & Reflection Childs Ability in the Five Aspects of Language Phonology According to the textbook, the developmental phonological norms around three years of age include mastering consonants, decreased clustering, and syllable deletion. Katie demonstrated these norms by producing intelligible speech with complete consonants. Katie should also be able to recognize the letters in her name around 60 months. Her parents reported that she can recognize the letters in her name and has no concerns with her intelligibility. Katie occasionally shows persisting phonological processes such as liquid gliding with words like “yellow” producing “yewoh”. Morphology Children between the ages of three to four and a half years have developed morphological skills like contractions, past tense, and irregular plural verbs. Katie demonstrated these skills consistently by using contractions and irregular third-person verbs in her speech. For instance, when talking about her puppy, she used "we played ball" to indicate that the activity had already
occurred. Additionally, Katie frequently contracted words such as "there's," "he's," and "there" in her conversations. Syntax According to the textbook, appropriate syntactic development involves the ability to narrate, use complex sentences, and combine 4-7 words in a sentence that makes sense. Katie demonstrates appropriate development in this area as her sentences range between 4-10 words and she uses complex sentence structures such as (subject-verb-object-adverb), (subject-verb- compliment adverb), and (subject-auxiliary-verb-adverbs). Additionally, Katie frequently narrates stories about her puppy, friends, and family. Her ability to narrate stories indicates that she has a good understanding of sequencing and organization, which are important skills for both language and cognitive development. Semantics Semantic milestones around three and a half years of age include relational terms, overgeneralization, and reflexive pronouns. Katie was. Able to use relational terms to describe family members. She was also able to describe an object as well as its uses, an example of this was her ability to describe to me a ball and how she and her puppy played with it. Her parents are actively helping Katie grow her semantic skills by reading to her as often as possible. Animated reading helps expose Katie to new words and concepts, in the home setting she can ask questions and point to familiar words. Katie's fast mapping abilities at this age allow her to incorporate these words in her everyday speech.
